I love new years not only because of the red pockets I get, but also because I feel like its always a great time to show thanks and how grateful I am to my parents.Couldn't have asked for a better year, and definitely couldn't have done it without my parents' support and care!Therefore, I tried to look up a chinese restaurant for lunch on the last day of the lunar year and booked a table 2 months in advance.Found this place and lucky enough, they only had one table left for that day even though

Therefore, I tried to look up a chinese restaurant for lunch on the last day of the lunar year and booked a table 2 months in advance.
Found this place and lucky enough, they only had one table left for that day even though i booked so long ago.
At about $4xx per person for dim sum, Lung King Heen is actually quite pricey. However, after taking into consideration the 3 Michelin Stars, the environment, and the service, it actually doesn't seem tooooo bad.
To start off, we had the BBQ Pork Cheung Fun($88) and Asparagus & Steamed Shrimp Dumplings($60)Didn't try the cheung fun but my parents liked it. on the other hand, I really liked the steamed asparagus shrimp dumplings. the shrimp was fresh and the skin was nicely prepared.
Next we had the Steamed Lobster & Scallop Dumplings($43/piece)
The Shanghainese Pork Dumplings' ($60) presentation was very cute, and I liked the design of the little handle since every time I have this dimsum, I usually break the skin of the dumpling when trying to carry it over to my plate or bowl, and the juices will all be gone by the time I eat it However, it is also my least liked dimsum of the meal. the skin was pretty thick, and the filling just didn't surprise me.
Abalone Puffs ($53/peice) was my FAVORITE of the meal~ puff was very nice, and I really like how the abolone is actually cut into half then put back together in one piece, made it much less messy when trying to bite the puff into half!!
龍帶玉梨香 ($100/half portion of 4 pieces)I heard this is one of the well known dishes at Lung King Heen, but it was just alright in my opinion.
It was kind of bland without dipping it into the lemon juice or salt.
Kumquat Honey Eel($220)Wasn't too sweet, and the eel was so fresh and thick! Had such a good texture to it. Loved it
Lung King Heen Fried Rice ($300)Portion was a bit small since the three of us only had a small bowl each!
However, it had lobster, shrimps and other good stuff in it. Rice wasn't too dry like most fried rice dishes out there. YUMMMMM~
All in all, we really enjoyed our lunch @ Lung King Heen!
Great Food, Great Service, Great Experience! Would definitely return.
The only down side is how hard it is to get a reservation from this place
Other Info. :
After we left the restaurant, I realized that they forgot our free desserts:(
